W3C launches Binary XML Packaging

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the huge-config-files-scared dept.

Spy der Mann writes "Remember the recent discussion on Binary XML? Well, there's news. The W3C just released the specs for XML-binary optimized packaging (XOP). In summary, they take binary data out of the XML, and put it in a separate section using MIME-Multipart. You can read the press release and the testimonials from MS, IBM and BEA."

    I was drownding in debt. There was no where to turn. My wife left me, my friends all left me. Even my dog, he left me too. I had to do something.

    That's when I found Binary XML. They were able to help with the debt. They got the creditors off my back and got me back on my feet.

    Thanks Binary XML!

    (I thought this was going to be about a standardization of compressing XML files that got rid of the excess bloat in the markup.)
